Aside from PayMaya, you will see these people, too!

#1 The Parentals

Where to spot them: Children’s Reference section

They are basically bookworm moms and dads who’d love to impart their love of books to their kids. It’s not hard to spot them as they have either a child in their pushcart or a stack of children’s books in their arms.

#2 The "Parking Attendants" 

Where to spot them: Back portion of the convention center, guarding their companions’ pushcarts 

These people are either not much of a book lover or already tired of walking around to shop for books. One thing’s for sure, they already found a spot to sit on and are left to guard their parked pushcarts

#3 The Book Sale Boyfriends

How to spot them: In charge of their significant other’s pushcarts

If there are Instagram boyfriends who are in charge of their girlfriend’s #OOTD content, there are also boyfriends who are in charge of pushing carts while their girlfriends look around for books.

It’s easy enough to spot them, their carts contain not only books but also shoulder bags.

#4 The Strategists

Where to spot them: Near the cashier, discarding their excess stash

In order to get the most of book sale visits, some people like to prepare and strategize. They have a prepared list of books they want to get and usually start shopping from one section to another. If they happen to spot a book they like they put it in their carts and just sort them out before paying at the cashier.

#5 The "Travel Experts"

How to spot them: They have travel luggage

In huge book sales like the Big Bad Wolf, encountering a few customers who are towing carry-on luggage behind them is nothing new. These customers are usually frequent book sale-goers who’ve mastered the fact that bringing travel luggage will make book shopping easier. Yes, they’re definitely the experts!

Does any of these people sound familiar? They might be you or your friends at a book sale!
